What is Depression?
This booklet provides an easy-to-understand description of Depression. Additional hard copies of this handbook or any other of our other publications can be ordered by visiting the MDSC Shop, or by contacting us directly.
Our website www.depressionhurts.ca provides further information on depression, including causes and symptoms, information on recovery and managing your depression symptoms, questions to ask your doctor, information for family and friends and much more. With over 2.5 million visitors, and available in four languages, we are sure this resource will be of great assistance in your journey.
MDSC also leads the national Defeat Depression campaign. These walks/runs are held from coast to coast, hosted by community organizations coming together to support local mental health services. At these events people share their stories, knowledge and experiences. Here you will find friends and neighbours in your area who learn from each other and tackle depression together.
